I feel that there is a HUGE difference between a "Loan Officer" and an "Application Taker"!

In regards to the Garage issue, I have learned a couple HUGE lessons here that I will post in case it helps others.

In lieu of huge down payments that only protect one side I would suggest buying a US Treasury.

While I haven't rented in the Fan/Museum district personally, the rental market there is HUGE for students (if in the Fan) and for young adults in the Museum District and Byrd Park areas.

I purchased remotely 5 unit property a 3 months ago and I have the first turnover in one of the units, looks like the unit is in bad shape and I just received a huge quote for an 850sqft unit turnover from my PM to basically replace everything... 30k quote....I need help and don't know where to start... any suggestions/advice would be extremely valuable.Thanks

There's a huge % of our country which votes to give up more of their privacy and freedom every time they're given a ballot whether or not it's in their best interest because doing so typically has some "feel good" gift wrap so we find ourselves in a tough situation as social media/tech/business/finance/foreign interests collide under these conditions. 

I couldn't shake the belief that getting into real estate investing was going to be a long term beneficial decision, but we seemed to be stuck.

My question is, is it beneficial to put the house in an LLC prior to refinancing, or after (does it make a difference?)
